Outstanding-more than a few gourmets at a recent party advised these were the best sausage mushrooms ever! I used Bob Evans sage bulk sausage italian seasoned bread crumbs minced red pepper and a good dash of Emeril's essence as well as the standard recipe items. I also topped them with gruyere cheese and parmesan before baking. FYI I made this 4 hours in advance melted butter in a casserole placed them in the casserole and refrigerated until ready to bake and serve. Sooo easy and so many wows!
My husbands family get togethers are always an aggrevation for me. I never know what to take and then usually end up taking home more than half of what I brought (after it has set out all day) and throwing it away. I took these and everyone raved! I substituted sausage used seasoned bread crumbs and put swiss cheese x's across the tops. I also used a mini chopper to grind the sausage finely. This really made the recipe simple because I did not have to stand over the sausage chopping with a spatula to keep it from clumping into big pieces. 5 giant stars from me and my husbands super picky family!
Wow these were SO good! I made them for an appetizer on Thanksgiving and my husband and I had to stop eating them! We were afraid we'd have no room for dinner. We really loved them. I did use spicy sausage in place of ground beef and I think I used italian flavored bread crumbs because it's all I had but they were fabulous. I also prepared them the night before and refrigerated and then heated up in the toaster oven (turkey was in the big oven!) and they were wonderful. Can't wait to make again!
Oh my just fabulous! I doubled the recipe and used sausage instead of beef. Next time I will omit the butter in the mixture as it was somewhat greasy. There was a lot of the mixture left over after stuffing so a couple of nephews used that to spread on crackers. It makes a wonderful spread so from now on I may just bake the filling in a casserole dish and serve as a dip. 5 stars plus!
These were AWESOME! I kinda winged the recipe a little as I added more garlic and some celery to it. Also I completely FORGOT to add the cream to it - this was my first time making stuffed mushrooms so I called a friend in panic (this is after I had them ready to go in the oven) - she suggested a little bit of zinfandel on each one...I used a turkey baster to add the wine and they were AMAZING! Definitely the fastest appetizer gone from the Thanksgiving spread! Will definitely be making these again. Also I didn't have any chili powder so I just left it out.:)
I used Johnsonville Irish Sausage (it's what I had on hand)... the kind with "a wee bit o garlic"... I made about thirty of these and they were devoured in short order by a party of 6. I also used the regular white mushrooms so the sizes of these varied greatly. Next time I may go lighter on the butter and sub Olive oil. The "serving yield" of 12 mushrooms = 12 Servings must be some kind of a sick joke unless the recipe uses some Huge mushrooms which it does not specify.
Very good even without the ground beef. For the vegetarian version use olive oil to saute the onions and garlic. Be sure to make extra filling since the meat in the recipe is much of the filling.
After making the filling I thought they lacked flavor so I am giving the recipe only three stars. I added garlic powder onion powder and parsley and they tasted better. After baking them I gave them a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese and topped each with provolone. I baked them an additional couple of minutes until the cheese melted. Tasted delicious with the additions.
Excellent delicious! A major major hit with my husband and son! I doubled the sausage onion and garlic but kept the bread crumbs cream and butter at the same amounts (this produced a flavorful more meaty mix). I also took the advise of another reviewer and topped them off with shredded Gruyere cheese. I had enough to stuff 24 mushrooms -- all of which were devoured within seconds on Thanksgiving day! I found they heated up well in a toaster oven... in a significantly quicker time. A nice solution when the oven is otherwise occupied by a gigantic turkey!
